So far

So far I have been running for 1day2hours and have 31% left

thats a mixed back of regular usage for me too, I played a game browsed the web, red some news used runkeeper and fitness pal, talked for about an hour several texts.

ROM: Bigxie's

Matr1x settings: Wheatley governor, deadline scheduler, 100/1000mhz and deep idle on
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jmelick07:
What exactly is the deadline scheduler? and how would one change it? I'm getting horrible battery life. Less than a day (12hr) with less than an hour screen-on. Running 1000/100 with stock voltages lulzactive governor (this is on 14.5 btw as I haven't had time to flash 15).

I am on Bacon 20 Kang and Matrix 15 CFS OnDemand 1000/100, Stock volt, No power saver, No Deep Idle and all is well so far 24hrs. later. I am very impressed. Thanks.

*edit* just do what blu said!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jmelick07:
Has there been any evidence that deep idle actually helps battery life? I've left it on but I can't really decide if it's actually helping.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Got a new signature for you :)

*The below signature is a PSA brought to you by Nexus Owners Sick of the Same Questions Over and Over*

Deep Idle does NOT cause your phone to use less power when screen is off. It already goes into Deep Sleep for that. Deep Idle ONLY gives battery savings when using your phone with screen off, such as when playing music or using GPS.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wild1z:
Nooice! He got the answer and the point in one post. Very efficient. ;) Edit to add, I do play music with my screen off for about an hour a day. I don't use deep idle myself.

Re: kernel...

MK95 - I tried flashing two other ROMs (Bigixe, BB) and ran the 15.0 kernel. Unfortunately, I had the same issues with battery use that I had with dooderbutt. Don't know what else to say. Other than that, the kernel worked well...

Looking forward to 15.5. :)

I cheated on you with 2 other kernels yesterday.. this is better for me.. and that just got weird.

•°NS4G • ICS°•
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wildbill12:
I was wondering if someone could give me some help about ideal settings for the best battery life/performance balance?

I had been using CM9a20 and v14.0, was getting about 16-18hrs with moderate usage and excellent performance using deadline scheduler, live OC 110%, min 100 max 1100, ondemand govenor, deep idle on. I'm in an area with good wifi coverage ~80% of the day.

Just upgraded to the lastest CM9 and put v15.0 of matr1x kernel on yesterday. It flies, no complaints about performance, excellent kernel. However, using the above settings but with the wheatley govenor and really low usage today I'm currently at 15% battery going on only 12hrs.

So my question - obviously I'll go back and try the ondemand govenor and see if that gets me back to where I was, but some other general questions -- what do you feel are the best settings for battery life? I really need it to last 18hrs with low-moderate use every day.

Thanks!

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
from personal experience, i think the "wheatley" gov has the best balance of battery and performance... for example: with my current setup, i'm getting extremely good battery life compared to any other setting... but when i use my phone, hardly lags if any at all and flies... BUT using it i notice that that good performance comes at price of the battery and it does drain like i'm using "Performance" gov...

i hope that helps someone :)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] wctom:
I don't understand this post at all. You are getting good battery life except when you actually use the phone??
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Face it, most people don't use the phone but for a small portion of the time it's on. So what he loses when it's on he makes up for it when it's idle. Therefore a good balance between speed and battery life. I said almost the same thing earlier today. Or was was it yesterday? :rolleyes:

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] the1dynasty:
well i can't use my phone at work for one so it's sitting idle for about 5-8hrs...

but what i should have said was when i multi-task my battery drops faster b/c of the increased performance... if i'm listening to music or reading a book on my phone, it lasts pretty long b/c i'm not really "using" my phone or requiring it to run multiple processes...

check this screenshot... if you compare the faster drops to the flatline, you will see that the "Screen On" is where the drops are and that's exactly when i was texting, browsing, music, etc... but when idle or not in use, it's essentially flatline... NO OTHER setup was doing this for me... i was getting a constant drop no matter what i did or turned off... i hope this makes sense... btw, this was only from about 88% charge...

Make sure your NSTOOLS CPU settings mirrors the settings in the Rom control settings if you are using the Kang Rom. I had a freeze when I updated NSTOOLS from the market. As soon as it was granted perms, it froze. I wiped cache and rebooted, then NSTOOLS was synced with the other setting.

It helped me. ;)

I use and have gtalk on all the time. I know that's what's doing it. I left it off one time for half a day, which was rough, lol, but it ran in the high twenties instead of what you see there. That percentage for the way I use my phone is normal.

Yeah, I do Gtalk and alot of exchange syncing though. But not today on the gtalk. Yesterday I got 23hrs. with 18% to get me over the hump. It's still good for me. I am sure everyone is different. I normally get 22-24 hours with a good set up. If I get 8 hours only, I start digging.

@Math, stock volts and such. 1000/200 (Bacon20 Matrix 15 CFS.) I do use BLD 5000 and no BLN. No wallpaper either so I think that helps too.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] FL0OD:
Nice.:thumbup: That's why I posted my screen on time. It would take a normal person a long time get to that point which would definitely elongate that actual overall time. I could easily get similar time as you if I was at work or using my phone like a normal human being, lol. There is not a kernel that I have run to date on ics that gets anywhere near that kind of battery. I don't know what kind of magic dust Kid put on this kernel but it's by far the best all around kernel out.

Can't Auto Rotate

Not Sure if its Kernel related, but my auto-rotate recently stopped working. Gallery, Keyboard and Youtube are all affected. Under settings the box is checked. I haven't downloaded any apps I can think of. I looked in other forums and some people said Google Sky affected this but I don't have Google Sky. Using oICSv43 Rom for couple months now. No other problems. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or has advice.

Been using Matr1x since 11.5

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Shadow Death:
I had an issue with it constantly rebooting if the battery died. Even at 50% charge. So I switched back to 14.5 and have been running fine since. I tried different governors so I know that wasn't the issue and it was at default clock speeds. It only happened if it died though.

I also experienced reboots when battery is somewhat low. Example somewhat low battery I exe a normal reboot to clear memory etc. My phone get stuck in bootloops when system attempts to power back up. (This happens on different ROMS with stock default kernel settings) mostly use lazy Gov. Maybe lazy is too lazy ha aha.

I really don't get the complaints about the green flash. It just doesn't bother me. If it bothers you so much, don't look at it when you turn the screen off and on.

You can fix the green screen issue by going to the punchy setting in the voodoo app

Did you try all the voodoo settings?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Ivan_PERU:
An ICS version for the NS4G?? I just flashed the kernel from the first page of this thread (which I believe is for the Nexus S in general, right?), and found that the screen stuttering glitch remains :(

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Ivan_PERU:
Interestingly enough, I did that x0.5 scaling, and lost that cool old-CRT-TV effect when the screen goes off. The weird screen stuttering was gone also. I somehow decided that I missed the cool effect and set it back to x1, and the effect was back, but without the stuttering this time! :D

I guess ICS just works in mysterious ways...

Edit: I see that the stuttering it's actually still happening, but a lot less often.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
what are your settings in voodoo when the stuttering happens?

Im referring to: which color profile? and the three Gamma settings and the three multipliers?

I have found that setting your voodoo settings to somewhere close to but not below RED 2300+... Green 2300+.... and blue 2700+ then setting the gamma settings to R 50 G 53 B 44 and never setting the Green gamma greater than 53 keeps the green flash away for me.

Not to be a jerk, but can you provide any proof whatsoever that that is the case? I don't mean "proof" like "my brother's friend's aunt's cousin didn't put his phone in airplane mode and after flashing a kernel, their house blew up".

Your phone should not be doing anything to activate the radios when in recovery. Just like it's not using the OS or the kernel.

If you can't back up this claim, I'll chalk it up to "just another Android old wives' tale" - same as clearing battery stats to improve battery life.

When you boot into recovery wifi is already disconnected. Kind of like going into your bios setting on your computer. Your not connected to anything. When you boot your phone it takes a second before your wifi connects. There's just no technical reason to do it.
